I use SIDizer LE from Beat Magazine and generally I am quite satisfied with it, since it is capable of doing much more than just chipsounds. On the minus side overall sound could be better IMO. Great features yeah, but sonically is lacking a little. This is why I'd love to lay my hands on something else this type - simillar, yet different, sounding tad better.

Maybe if I'd switch to a full version it would do the trick, I don't know. But all in all - I like it.

That's what I'm talking about. People think it is sonically lacking, but I love it. It really sounds like a synth. I guess that's what I love about it. If I could keep Amber and sell the rest, I would swap SIDizer with Cypher and Strobe. Maybe it's the post-post-modern thing where I want something that sounds like a digital synth.

It's all about the wavelets. I dream of the perfect additive synthesis.
You can hire me if you are in Toronto! Contact for details.

I tried the demo recently and I agree that the sound is somewhat appealing. My big concern is that it is about to become abandon ware since it was made with synth master (which is discontinued). If I felt like this product was going to ever be updated I'd grab it...

EDIT:By synth master, I meant synth maker. My bad.

I wouldn't say that's very recent, but that's only my opinion. The Hypersynth website also hasn't had a news update since August. I was wrong in thinking that synth maker is gone forever, it was merged into another product, so I suppose 64-bit support may come around some day.

So, while I was working on my new album (release date 20.04.2014), I used SIDizer in the tracks and was experimenting with it a lot. "A lot" means 100 new preset (a complete SIDizer soundbank) in a pack: http://www.strayworx.com/sidized

Nice, thanks for sharing

Sidizer is often on sale, I wouldn't be surprised if one should happen this Easter too
